Answer 1

why aren't you using e.ctrlKey ?

 if (e.keyCode == 65 && e.ctrlKey) {
     alert('ctrl A');
 }

edit: here's an appropriate function to detect your ctrl-r keypress and stop the browser from reloading.

function keydown(e) {
    if (e.ctrlKey && e.keyCode == 82) {
        // 82 = r

        // TODO: your thing.

        if (e.preventDefault) {
            e.preventDefault();
        }
        else {
            return false;
        }
    }
}

i'm a jquery newbie, i think you'd do

$(document).keydown(keydown);

right?
